Formaldehyde in Vaccines: A DNA Adduct?

The U.S. National Library of Medicine at NIH in January 2010 published online the “Final Report on Carcinogens Background Document for Formaldehyde.” [1] It’s an interesting document in many respects, especially since it details in vitro and invivo studies in lab animals, i.e., rats, mice, and hamsters.

Experimental Animals: Formaldehyde has been tested for carcinogenicity in mice, rats, and hamsters. Studies reviewed include chronic and subchronic inhalation studies in mice, rats, and hamsters; chronic and subchronic drinking-water studies in rats, and hamsters; chronic and subchronic drinking-water studies in rats; and one chronic skin-application study in mice. No chronic studies in primates were found, but one subchronic inhalation study and one acute/subacute inhalation study in monkeys was reviewed. [1]

Granted, there was much detail given to inhalation of formaldehyde gas with some studies documenting the effects of adding formaldehyde to the animals drinking water. However, there were no studies performed on injecting formaldehyde into the animals, as often occurs when vaccines containing formaldehyde are injected into infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens.

Question: Why no injection studies on formaldehyde? Since formaldehyde or Formalin are excipients used in the manufacture of the following vaccines:

Probably I’m going to be accused of “cherry picking” data, so up front I admit that, that’s exactly what I’m doing to make a specific point which is, the report stated that

Unmetabolized formaldehyde reacts non-enzymatically with sulfhydryl groups or urea, bind to tetrahydrofolate and enters the single-carbon intermediary metabolic pool, reacts with macromolecules to form DNA and protein adducts, or forms crosslinks primarily between protein and single-stranded DNA (Bolt 1987).

Okay! So what happens when formaldehyde or Formalin in a vaccine suspension interacts with body chemistry in an infant whose immune system and blood brain barrier are not fully developed?

We know that the body metabolizes ‘ingredients’ differently depending upon whether they are ingested and transit the digestive tract, or if they are injected intramuscularly and can become problematic.

Shouldn’t the CDC and FDA be concerned about the use of formaldehyde and Formalin in vaccines in view of the above damage, especially since the report makes this incriminating statement about ingestion? What happens with injection? No one knows!

Numerous agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, CPSC, DOT, EPG, FDA, HUD, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, ACGIH, and NIOSH, have developed regulations and guidelines to reduce exposure to formaldehyde.

Now get this: Big Pharma is making and selling—while MDs, nurses, etc. are injecting—formaldehyde-containing vaccines into infants as young as 24 hours old. Unbelievable? No! Factual.

The key to all the above, as I assess it, is this which the formaldehyde document points out:

A DNA adduct is, as I pointed out in my 2009 book, Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, (available on Amazon here) a base in the DNA covalently [sharing electrons from one to another] bonded to a (cancer-causing) chemical. This has been shown to be the start of a cancerous cell, or carcinogenesis.

Now, I have one more question to ask, and it is this: Coincidentally childhood cancers have been on the rise precipitously and concomitantly, it seems, with the rise in mandated vaccinations starting as early as birth (Hepatitis B vaccine is administered then). What connection is there between formaldehyde and Formalin in vaccines with childhood cancers? How does that question correlate with this information from the National Cancer Institute FactSheet Childhood Cancers?

Now go back and read what the Carcinogens Background Document found and see if there are any dots that can be connected. Shouldn’t some member of Congress be asking questions or investigating vaccines?
